Wilkinson Chrome E-Z LOK Post Guitar Tuners Tuning Keys Pegs Machine Heads for Strat Tele

Keeps tuner perfectly and looks awesome

I originally got these for a Tele I'm building, but they mysteriously ended up on my $75 Strat copy. ; ) They're a huge improvement over what came on the guitar, I hadn't figured on the difference being so big. Now tuning the guitar isn't an ordeal anymore. Will definitely be buying again!

I bought these to replace the tuners on an inexpensive Chinese telecaster clone (also got Wilkinson compensated bridge and pickups). The tuners made a big difference and I'm pretty astonished how well they stay in tune without a "real" locking mechanism. After initial string stretching over a day or so, they stay perfectly in tune according to my Peterson strobostomp tuner. Excellent bang for the buck. This guitar now plays better and sounds better than my standard tele and it cost me about 1/3 of the price and about 30 mins of parts swapping. Highly recommended.

I used these to replace the very poor tuners that were on a very cheap guitar I bought and heavily modified to be able to fit in a carry-on bag (the neck has to come off) on monthly week-long business trips to Europe. The original tuners on that cheapest-guitar-you-can-buy guitar were just horrible. I did not want to spend a lot on an upgrade for this guitar, but I am spoiled with tuners on several of my expensive guitars (Fender Amer Pro, Les Paul) and even those on several of my mid-range guitars. I own the full range of what one can expect in a tuning machine! I bought these after reading the reviews. They installed easily and feel and work about mid way between my cheapest and most expensive tuners - about what one should expect from tuners that cost about mid way between junk and moderately high end tuners. I've traveled to Europe with this upgraded tuner set twice now and the guitar tunes much better and hold tun better - not perfect, but pretty good. They feel better (the knobs are not wobbly and pieces like the back plate don't fall off. I'm very happy with this purchase and would buy them again as a worthy upgrade for a low-end guitar. They are not, however, up to the quality of what is on even my 70s Vintage Modified Squire (a really nice guitar, BTW), let alone my American Fender Strat or Tele.

I enjoy building guitars from scratch and modifying cheap guitars to turn them into something special and beautiful. Wilkinson hardware is usually a winner for me, quality at a good price, and those tubing machines are a winner again. I used the locking models and really liked them, but I'm making the current project for a friend and he didn't want locking tuners, do this was perfect. I retrofitted a no-brand Stratocaster neck and I knew the holes in the headstock were the wrong size, but it was simple enough to ream them to the proper size. The tuners were easy to install and look great. More importantly they operate smoothly and keep the guitar in tune

I have used these on several Strats with no problems. I was using high dollar tuners for years but I switched to using these when I found that I was paying more for the high dollar brand name and not necessarily the quality. They work and they don't jump or slip. What ,more do you need?

These are a really fantastic upgrade for a guitar that will not stay in tune. They are inexpensive, they look nice, and they hold a good tune. If you know how to rap a string correctly you really do not need locking tuners . That is a myth ... there are plenty of super expensive . Amazing guitars, with traditional tuners . Everything I have gotten from Wilkinson is great soo far !

I purchased these for a Tele I'm working on upgrading and didn't want to spend 3x as much as the brand that has an "F" on the back of them, but also didn't want to buy some that were next to nothing. They were an easy install on my Tele, just had to drill pilot hole for the screw that anchors the machines and keeps them from shifting. They stay in tune, and tune better than any other tuning machines on most of my other guitars. I'm able to tune to pitch without getting that annoying pitch warble you get on some of the cheaper brands. The Wilkinson tuners, in opinion is an excellent option for anyone that doesn't feel like they have to have a big manufacturer name on their hardware, and is every bit as purposeful and functional as it should be for what it is.
